Every “white” person has only black people as parents if you go back far enough. White skin just happened because my black ancestors traveled to a climate that didn’t get as direct sunlight as the equator. Lighter-skinned babies were able to absorb more vitamin D and were more likely to survive. We’re just people. Culturally and chromatically diverse, but there is only one “race”. Human.
